Poem Artwork


Its sometimes hard to live alone,


Even when one has his own home,


Happy with neighbors & friends,


Still alone can be the pits,


Working only makes to meet ends…


 


I share my loneliness with a pet,


He takes care of me & allows me not too much to fret,


Still with no human contact, there is sometimes regret,


Memories of past acquaintances hard to forget…


 


But they are not here today,


Even with fun with significant others,


Gone away into a past yesterday,


Still of the present I do sometimes dismay…

Yes Ed this is one feeling I can relate to my friend...it's the lonliness within that's so damn hard to cope with!!

Love Tinka

I can certainly relate to your words. I see, too, that my experiences are shared by most who have written here, so I won't echo their words.

How sad. Sometimes you can be in a home with many people, yet still be alone. Being alone and being lonely are worlds apart. Always look forward, never back. We cannot change what was, look to the future.
Be safe,
Karen

A beautifully sad poem Ed. We all suffer bouts of lonliness even when we live with someone.Just don't let the thoughts linger too long.

Know the feeling. And yet, the longer I am alone, the harder I find it to be willing to give as much of my time to others as I should. Very heart felt write...

Know the feeling Ed
and I have a mate
Yet sometimes I feel all alone.
Peace Be with you

I hate to be alone, although sometimes I even "feel" alone amongst a whole crowd of people. I guess it's just the way how we feel about life and ourselves.

Sometimes, I do feel like I need time to get away from everything and everyone though.

Love your write!!! Enjoyed the honesty!!!!!
